From the late 1800s, the most provocative person pushing a counterweight against South Africa's colonial past was an extraordinary figure in our South African history: a young, white middle-class woman called Olive Schreiner. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/iHRRHvrhfO
In 1854, a Muslim servant named Wuzerah came to New Zealand from India. In what may have been the first instance of the country's Muslim/Christian interfaith activity, he later laid the stones for the foundation of the Christchurch Cathedral. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/cOTC1gMpgk
"Church starts when I turn on my data. I read from daily devotionals that speak to my context, share the insight on a WhatsApp group with three other friends, say gratitude prayers and watch sermons from the comfort of my room." #MGGodEdition https://t.co/LnkB4h5rv4
“We don’t believe that a person dies,” explains Venda healer Vho-Luvhengo Ndou Dima. “Only the skin and the bones die. But the spirit does not die, it visits.” #MGGodEdition https://t.co/ouZ3VXWCxC
Although Olive Schreiner will have been dead for a century next year, residents of the Karoo today know where she lived and invariably have an anecdote to tell about her. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/iHRRHvrhfO
With a majority Catholic population and a rise in adherents to evangelical Protestantism, Brazil is a deeply religious country. It is also the country with one of the highest number of queerphobic hate crimes. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/rjUFQuB84m
Forward in faith: Mogamat Benjamin is a devout Muslim who believes others should accept him for who he is: a proud gay man. #MGGodEdition. https://t.co/LFIH6dasm0

For many queer men, few things serve as strong a testimony to self-acceptance as drag artistry. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/zVBebGs5Wv
🔒 Dianne Willman is about to become only the fourth woman priest ordinated in the Catholic tradition in South Africa. The first South African woman to be ordained was Patricia Fresen, in Barcelona in 2003. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/4pwHSgfiY0
🔒 The foundation for the Ponsonby Masjid, New Zealand’s first mosque, was laid in Auckland in March 1979, and the Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand was established that April. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/cOTC1gMpgk
Brazilian singer Mel's newfound religious beliefs might, as she says, be “all about love and peace” but for her a far more useful tool in any attempt to effect change is something very different. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/wcUSiovnSB
It still amazes me that my job allows me to take ideas and weave them together until voila. #MGGodEdition
🔒 Before mortuaries, when a person went to visit, their body would be smeared with ash to ward off flies and to slow down decomposition. The elders would gather to phasa — announce to those in the spiritual world the passing of the person. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/ouZ3VYedpa
🔒 "What I understand now about what was being communicated to me then, was that music, and indeed life itself, is nothing if not lived with a commitment to the moment." #MGGodEdition https://t.co/UfYtuWENqZ
Although the situation for queer Muslims in South Africa is not life-threatening, judgment is something Mogamat Benjamin has lived with for most of his life. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/zVBebGs5Wv
🔒 The atheist or agnostic parent has a problem: How do you offer your children a godless belief system that is as emotionally energising and consolatory as religion (in its gentler variations) can be? #MGGodEdition https://t.co/oj5MstBNNp
🔒 In New Zealand, national, cultural and religious identities are all tied to one another. These overlapping identities have strengthened the Kiwi Muslim community, but also amplified its suffering in the wake of the Christchurch attacks. #MGGodEdition https://t.co/cOTC1gMpgk
